2-1 How to Select the Proper Root Blower and Data Required
for Ordering
1) Usage and Use Conditions
Specify your usage, location, and running conditions such as continuous or
intermittent.
2) Air-Capacity
Specify the required air-capacity is based on the standard conditions
(1 Atm., 20 C, relative humidity 65%) or on the referential conditions. Unless
otherwise specifed, air-capacity is indicated in the inlet conditions rather than the
outlet conditions.
3) Pressure
Please specify whether the pressure is constant or variant. In the variant case,
please specify the corresponding relationship between the air-capacity and
pressure, such as air-capacity increases when the pressure decreases, and vice
versa. Please also provide the range of variation and specify whether the pressure
4
specifed is the static pressure at the outlet or the differential pressure between the
inlet and outlet. Specify whether the inlet pressure is at 1Atm. If not, the differential
pressure between the inlet and outlet should be provided.
4) Type and Specifc Weight of the Gas Transported
Please Specify the Following Items:
vGas type and its ingredients
vPortion and size of other ingredients
vThe Specifc weight
vChemical characteristics
vSuggested materials
vWhether the gas is explosive or toxic
Ordinary air shall be used if none of the above items is provided.
5) Temperature of the Gas
The standard Trun-Dean Blower is for transporting a gas of normal inlet
temperature. If the inlet temperature is high, the rotor of the blower may seize
due to thermal expansion. Let us know if the inlet temperature is higher than the
normal temperature, so we can incorporate special design for the high-
temperature conditions.
6) Electric Motor
For a motor driven unit, please advise the voltage, frequency, phase, etc. of your
electricity.
2-2 Model Selection Process

1) Convert the Operation Specifcations into Nominal (Catalog) Specifcations
Nominal Air-Capacity: It means the volumetric air-capacity converted into the
inlet pressure and temperature.
Nominal Static Air-Capacity:In the TH Type, it means the outlet pressure
(the inlet pressure is 1 Atm.).
In the TV Type, it means the inlet pressure
(the outlet pressure is 1 Atm.).
For operating requirements different from the above conditions, convert as follows:
(1) The air-capacity QN, in the standard conditions. (0C, absolute pressure 10332
mmAq, relative humidity 0%, also known as NTP, the specifc weight of air in
these conditions is 1.293kg/m3), can be calculated with the following formula:
Q = QN
Q (m3/min): Air-capacity shown in the GQN (m3/min): Air-capacity in the
catalog standard conditions
TI (C):Root blower inlet air temperature PS(mmAq): Nominal static pressure
P1(mmAq): Inlet operation pressure P2(mmAq): Outlet operation pressure

(2) When TH Type inlet pressure 1Atm.
PS = ( -1) X 10332 (mmAq)
(3) When TH Type outlet pressure 1Atm.
PS = ( -1) X 10332 (mmAq)
2) Select Proper Model According to the Converted Specifcations
Select the proper horsepower and RPM from the performance chart according to
the converted air-capacity and static pressure.
vExample 1
Operation specifcation:
Air-capacity: 3.87 m3/min
Static pressure: 5000 mmAq (at 30C)
(1) Since the inlet condition is 1atm., the air-capacity and static pressure require no
conversion.
(2) According to the above specifcations, we fnd from page 5, TH-80 performance
chart, that 1150 rpm and 10HP are what we need.
vExample 2
Operation specifcation:
Air-capacity: 20N m3/min

Static pressure: mmAq (at 40C)
(1) Since the inlet condition is 1atm for the standard of air-capacity, the air-
capacity and static pressure require the following conversion:

Q = 20 X = 25.38758 (m3/min)
PS = ( -1) X 10332 = 5000 (mmAq)
(2) According to the conversion, we fnd 1300rpm and 40 HP on page 5, the
performance chart of TH-150.
vExample 3
Operation specifcation:
Air-capacity: 10.35 m3/min
Static pressure: -4000 mmAq (at 40C)
(1) Since the inlet condition is 1 atm., the air-capacity and static pressure require no
conversion.
(2) According to the above specifcations, we fnd from page 6, THV-125
performance chart, that 1150 rpm and 20HP are what we need.

4-1 Principle of Operation
The Root Blower, as shown in Fig. 1, is a displacement-discharge blower as well as
a suction type vacuum pump. The unit uses 2 rotors, in the shape of , rotating in
opposite directions, for compressing or extracting the air. Both rotors are connected
to a synchronized gear set. While rotating, the rotor-to-rotor and rotor-to-chamber
gaps are maintained fractions of millimeters; therefore no lubrication is required, thus
delivering non-contaminated air.
Because there is no friction between the moving
parts, the Root Blower allows high-speed rotation
for giving out high flow-rates. Trun-Dean root
blowers are precision designed; only the bearings
and gears inside the machine require lubrication.

proper lube oil and grease as instructed by the manual. Proper maintenance can
minimize wear and tear of the bearings and gears, so as to prolong the life span of
the machine.
4-2 The Foundation
A sound and level foundation helps smooth operation of the Root Blower; it also
minimizes the maintenance cost and prolongs the life span of the blower.
1. Concrete Foundation
A concrete foundation is the best choice for the Root Blower. The mass of
a concrete plinth shall be at least 3 times that of the supported machine; it
functions as an inertia counter weight that stabilizes the foundation. In case
the soil of the location is soft and lacks supporting force, a bigger foundation
or apile-supported foundation shall be provided. For installation of more
than 2 Root Blowers, separate foundations shall be provided. For preventing
transmission of vibration, a plinth shall avoid connecting with the foundation of
the building, a column, or a wall.
Holes for accommodating anchor bolts shall be prepared in advance. Embed
the anchor bolts after layout of the Root Blower. (As shown in Fig. 2)
If it has to pre-embed the anchor bolt, you can use the method illustrated in
Fig. 3 to place the L-shape anchor bolt into a pipe with a diameter larger than
that of the anchor bolt by approximately 50mm, so that the bolt allows for slight
adjustment after pouring concrete, if required.
The best ratio of the aggregates, in volume, shall be cement: sand: gravel =
1:2:4. The machine shall only be installed when the foundation is fully cured.

2. Steel Structure Base
Using steel structure as the base for a Root Blower (see Fig. 4), it is necessary
to consider the strength and rigidity for maintaining the base from deformation
under the expected load, which include the static and dynamic loads of the Root
Blower and its accessories. The base must be suffciently so as to prevent loosening
resulting from the operation.
3. Installation of Vibration Pad (optional).
To prevent vibration induced by other equipment
i nf l uenci ng t he Root Bl ower, or t o prevent
vibration of the Root Blower from infuencing other
equipment, the vibration pad(s) can be installed

between the base plate of the unit and the foundation. The company offers 2
options of vibration pads for being used with a Root Blower. (See Figs. 4 and 5).
4-3 Installation
1. Precautions for Handling the Unit
When handling the Root Blower, avoid damage caused by swing or collision. Upon
delivery check if all the accessories are intact. The following are some of things to
check:
(1) Check if the specifcations of the unit are consistent with the order sheet.
(2) Check if the any of the screws on the machine are loose due to the shipment or
any collision.
(3) Turn the shaft with your hand; ensure that the shaft has not been stuck.
(4) When hoisting, use the ring-head bolt supplied with the Root Blower. Do not
use the shaft end as a support for hoisting.
2. Installation and Adjustment
(1) Before installing the Root Blower onto the foundation, make sure the surface of
the foundation is free of oil or grease, so as to provide good contact between
the base plate and the concrete foundation.
(2) Keep the inlet/outlet fanges of the Root Blower sealed until connecting with the
piping, for preventing any foreign object from entering.
(3) After placing the Root Blower onto the foundation, shim the base plate at
positions the main load is supported (insert the shim into the gap between the
base plate and the foundation, aside the anchor bolt), leave a space for
grouting the mortar. Finally, use shims (or wedges) to level the unit; measure
the level on a machined surface. Maximum tolerance is 0.2 mm/m.
(4) In case an old cement plinth is used, chip off the upper-face of the plinth, install
the unit upon the newly formed surface.
(5) Reserve a space for maintenance at the installation site, for facilitating future
maintenance.
(6) It shall be considered that the inlet of the Root Blower shall be situated at a
location where good ventilation and clean air are available.
(7) If the equipment room for the Root Blower is small, the temperature in the room
is prone to rise up. A temperature higher than 40C is adverse to the life span
of the Root Blower, in such cases, provide a ventilation fan for heat dissipation.
3. Piping
For ensuring smooth operation of the Root Blower, make sure the following points
are taken care of when installing the piping.
(1)Clean out any slugs from the piping thoroughly before connecting the Root
Blower. If a slug enters into the blower, severe damage can result.
(2)Avoid deformation of the Root Blower caused by connection with the piping;
make sure the piping does not exert the direct load onto the Root Blower.
Proper supporting is required in the vicinity of the inlet and outlet of the unit.
Metal hangers or support can be used, preferably fexible ones. Make sure the
centerline of the piping aligns with that of the unit inlet/outlet; do not force the
connection. If applicable, use fexible joints to minimize the stress and strain
upon the unit caused by minor defections resulting from change of temperature.
A check valve behind the fexible joint can prevent the Root Blower from water
9
invasion caused by reverse fow. Mind the direction of the check valve.
(3)In case the inlet of the Root Blower opens to the atmosphere, a flter shall
be provided for preventing sucking in foreign objects. Provide a rain shield for
outdoor installation. Furnish silencers on the inlet, outlet, or within the piping,
for eliminating the operation noise. If the transferred gas contains vapor, it may
condense to water during the transfer; provide a drain cock at the lowest point
of the piping system
(4)Keep the inlet flter clean all the time. Perform regular inspection and
maintenance every 3 months.
4. V-Belt Transmission
When the assembled Root Blower arrives at the destination, check the pulleys for
alignment and check the belt tension before operation.
(1) Checking the Parallel
Make sure the pulleys are at their correct positions.
By way of a ruler or a straight line across the body and the pulley end, check
that the end faces of the belt are on the same plane; check that the motor
shaft is parallel with the blower shaft; and the v-belt pulley is at the right
angle with the shaft. In case of any defection, loosen the anchor bolts of the
motor base for adjustment; tighten the bolts after adjustment is made.
Before operating the Root Blower at full speed, check the direction of rotation
frst.
(2) Belt Tension Adjustment
The optimal tension adjustment of the belt is to achieve the minimal tension at
which the belt will not slip in the maximum load conditions (horsepower). Make
several checks of the belt tension for any variation on the frst day a new belt is
used. Adjust the belt so it will not slip. After certain stretching, the belt tends to
settle in its extension. After that, only occasional checks are required. In a multi-
belt case, make sure all the belts are of the same length; they shall replaced
together at the same time too. Keep the belt clean from dust and foreign
materials, and avoid corrosion by gasoline or other oils. Check belt tension
with the following methods: Hold the belt with you fngers and twist the belt; it
shall be able to twist the belt 90 degrees. Or press the belt with your thumb; it
shall be able to produce a sag of 1 thickness of the belt. After running starts,
if a slip is heard, increase the tension a little. Increase the tension a little for a
new belt. Tension can be calculated as follows:
lMeasure the distance between the shafts
lFind the transmission power of each of the belts.
Pull the belt straight down
at the center between the
pulley axles with a spring
scale. Read the scale when
the sag reaches 1.62mm
per 100mm (for a 500 mm
pulley Spacing, the sag shall
be 8mm), check the reading
with the following chart

(3) Adjusting the Flexible Coupling
For the Root Blower connected with a coupling, its alignment has been
calibrated in the factory before shipment. The alignment may be damaged
in handling processes, therefore it requires re-checking before operation.
Perform the check according to instructions given in the operation manual.
Make sure tolerances of parallel and angles are within the permissible
ranges.

adjusting the relative positions of the blower with the piping, at the same time,
check if there is any foreign object in the chamber.
Check the level of the lubricating oil according to this manual.
Check for correct direction and installation positions of all accessories.
Open the control valves on both the inlet and outlet. DO NOT start the blower
with the valves closed. Safety valves shall be provided on the inlet or outlet of
the blower, for avoiding damage caused by an operational error or a change
in the system resistance.
*Special Note: Check if the blinding plate on the inlet/outlet fange has been removed.
2. Test Run of the Root Blower
When performing test run, make sure the pressure on the inlet/outlet conforms
to the pressure specified on the nameplate. If the operating pressure has been
changed, regulation must be performed on the safety valve, also check the loading
conditions of the motor. Keep the inlet temperature within the safety range (the
standard inlet temperature for the Root Blowers of our company is 50C). In case
the inlet temperature exceeds 50C, please consult us.
Check the following items one-by-one for the test run:
Correct direction of the Root Blower
Any abnormal sound from the Root Blower
Vibration of the Root Blower
Whether the blower housing temperature exceeds the standard.
On completion of the test run, switch off the power and observe if the Root
Blower rotates freely until stop. After stop, check if the shaft can be turned freely
with your hand.
If all the above checking points are normal, operational running can be
arranged. In normal operation, not much maintenance is required except
checking the lubrication of the bearing and gear, and adjusting the belt tension.
3. Airfow Adjustment
The Root Blower is a positive displacement machine; controlling the airflow by
the inlet/outlet valve is not significantly effective. For a wide range of airflow
adjustment, changing the rotation speed is a better way, more economical and
effective. Otherwise, the excessive airflow can be released by the safety valve if
the speed is to remain constant. Providing a bypass between the inlet and outlet is
also a method; but pay attention to the temperature rise caused by the return fow,
which can get harmful to the normal operation.
4. Safety Valve Adjustment
The Root Blower furnished with safety valves is pre-set according to the specifed
pressure. Before actual running the unit, confrm again if the safety valve setting
conforms with the specifed releasing pressure, so as to ensure the safety of the
motor and the blower. If the blower is to be used at a pressure different from the
preset pressure, or if the pressure requirement changes, the releasing pressure of
the safety valve must be re-adjusted.

4-5 Repair and Maintenance
1.Shaft Seal
Labyrinth Seal is a standard shaft seal for all the Root Blowers produced by the
company. This seal has no direct contact with the rotating shaft, therefore requiring
no special maintenance under normal operation.
2.Lubrication
Bottom of the synchronized gear in the gearbox is submerged in the oil, there is
also an oil splashing plate for properly lubricating the bearing(s) on the side.
3.Gear lubrication (Gearbox)
Replacing gear oil (drains the old oil then pour into the new one)
The first time: 500 hours after initiation; afterwards, replace oil every 1000
hours.
Quantity of Oil
Refer to the following table for the oil quantity for each model; check the oil
gauge from time to time. The oil level shall be kept between the upper and lower
limits when the unit is in stop. Excessive oil will fow out from the hole on the
side. Insuffcient oil can result in squeaking of the gear due to friction and shall
be made up.

4-6 Repair and Replacement
Under adequate maintenance, the blower can have a long lifespan. In case
of finding any wear and tear of the parts, for the sake of continued normal
operation, such parts shall be repaired or replaced.
1.The Gear
For avoiding collision of rotors inside the blower chamber, provide proper marking
for correct resumption when disassembling the gear, so that original angles and
positions can be maintained when re-assembled. Since the synchronous calibration
of the gear is quite a diffcult process, we suggest that the blower shall be sent back

Precautions when using Root Blowers:
Before using the blower, please add oil to the centerline of the oil gauge.
After operation, check from time to time so as to maintain the oil level above
the centerline.
The specifed oil is CPC gear circulation oil R-150.
Before and after using the blower, always make sure that the belt tension is
correct. Adjust the tension regularly. If the belt too loose, effectiveness and
lifespan of the machine may decrease.
Check the inlet flter for clog; keep it clean and free-fowing all the time.
Make sure the rotation is in correct direction. Reverse rotation is strictly
forbidden.
Read the manual for details.
